Default Re: Here\'s one for yah to chew on. Preflop fold.

Well to be honest, online has caused me to change my tune a bit on folding hands like AK and JJ for 3 bets. In a BM against players who I perceived to be very tight, they were sure easy folds for me at 3 cold.

Now, I'm not sure if I've learned something useful or developed a leak, but I have a harder time folding these hands for 3 bets. For one thing, I don't trust the numbers. I trust them to a point, but I've also seen a 6%pfr turn over something like 99 after 3-betting. Also, this forum has gotten to me in general regarding the value of AK and JJ for 3 bets pf. Yeah, you could easily be in trouble, but when you're good (or suckout), you win a very big pot. Like I said, I don't know if this change has improved or worsened my game, but I do know that being willing to play AK and JJ for 3 bets (at least online) hasn't hurt me and probably improved my online results.
